Yep. thanks for all that. :) p.s. So what would you advocate - a system centred on a pc or a system centred on an NVR?

Well thanks for that - it's news to me about the ability of pc's to run 24/7/52. I've lost two Asus motherboards due to fan failure - onboard fans they were. To be fair the Asus software notified me they were on the way out and I didn't react quick enough. And I've had another two at least...

HI. I don't know about push notifications. I haven't got a smart phone. Well I do but I never use it. I find I've got two Foscams still running. Spotted another one here today. Just saying. Also got 3 that died. :) Big thing is storage I think. No matter what the cameras see or how well...

No mention here of Ispy. It's a free Blue Iris. I was able to get connections via Ispy when my Blue Iris wouldn't make one. And Contacam. I used for a long time. I could make connections with it that Blue Iris and Ispy wouldn' t make. I actually had more pleasure and smooth ability with...

We have a very cheap 'Orion' IP cam that uses Grid Connect and our home Wifi Lan. Works fine. Good picture. sound a bit horrible though. But that's okay. The thing is we'd want to see it from outside the home. The instruction thing doesn't give this a mention. The box says 'See and speak...

oh yes, I finally woke up. adapts the 3 pin power to a usb socket things can plug into instead of into a computer? yep. can do that. Actually already got a cam doing that. I just go brain dead sometimes. :)

oh. okay. I guess like you say at that price I ought to give it a go. Have you got any knowledge of that power input question I raised?

so 1080 isn't good enough, basically?

Are these things okay? What about the power? It seems to be saying it is supplied with power via a USB cable which can be plugged into any type A port. So that means it has to be powered from your computer? Or I have to find a power supply - a wallwart - that has a usb socket? That's not...

The only way I can find to view my recorded videos (motion captured) is to close down the last one, click on the next one. I'd like to be able to use the left and right arrows keys, for instance, to run through the them and stop at one I want to see. Does it offer that functionality anywhere?

Thank you for that. Got rid of it. It wasn't listed in services but I couldn't delete the files and I found it was listed in Task Manager as a couple of background processes. Stopped them and got it out. Excellent. :)

I have two Onvif Wifi Sricams. One of them is seen by my Ispy installation on one of my computers. The other one is seen by nothing and I am trying to set up Ispy on a second computer and use it to see it. But I got sidetracked by the advertising and installed this Agent thing instead and...

It begins to look to me like the way it works is they have a central place that all involved cameras log in to. We log out cameras into it via the ispy software. then to connect remotely we do that again somehow. I can't find out how. They don't say. But probably by loading this software...

no problem. I am familiar with port forwarding. the thing I'm after now is just what URL to put into a remote pc to view my cameras here. ispy doesn't say. I see ispy when setting up my account forwarded 63348 so I tried myip:63348 but it couldn't connect. ispy also says its software is...

very succinct. and very helpful. thank you very much for that. can you help with another one? how do I access these camera from afar - from a different pc in a different town? Given I have a fixed IP here and have port forwarding. Sricam say it cannot be done except with their smartphone...
